The future is bright; the future is Hi Viz orange.

After research by the European Institute of Transportation and the Bleeding Obvious in Brussels revealed drivers were five times more likely to be involved in a serious accident if their car was silver or charcoal colour, legislation has been past to make all new cars from 1st of January 2014 only available in hi viz orange and yellow.
A spokesman for the Institute explained “with the huge increase in silver and charcoal colour cars we noticed a surge in accidents caused by the inability of drivers to see silver and charcoal vehicles against the background of tarmac road surfaces. Further research revealed that the car colour with the least amount of accidents was hi vis orange followed by hi viz yellow. Even factoring in that many silver cars are driven by BMW owners who are dispensable there is still a strong case for the change in the law”.
Further legislation forcing pedestrians to be dressed in hi vis yellow and orange is expected to follow on in 2015, however there will be an exception for Dale Winton , David Dickinson and the cast of the Only Way Is Essex as they are already orange.
